Winnie the Pooh was a big part of my childhood, at least at bedtime. I've been disappointed that Disney saw the need to recreate the characters; for me, the original drawings were more than half the charm.

There is another reason to remember (and enjoy) Milne. In 1922, four years before Pooh and his friends, Milne wrote a mystery called "The Red House Mystery." It's light, entertaining, features a "locked room" type murder at an English country house, and it's still in print 91 years later, both as an inexpensive paperback and as a free Kindle book. If you haven't read it, it's worth looking up!
